Press Release :
After the storming success of their debut album 'Join The Q' last year The Qemists are back with another gargantuan slice of full-throttled bass-heavy dance music that, along with a monster remix from Reso, looks set to cause dance floor frenzies all over the world. Taken as the first single from their follow-up LP due later in 2010, it serves as the perfect taster of what's to come.

'Your Revolution' intros in a major way with glorious sweeping strings before guitar power-chords smack out of the speakers along with precise kicks and loaded bass guitar giving a thoroughly live feeling to this one augmented with the vocals of Matt Rose; The Qemists are after all a band. Then in drops a snarling mid-range synth riff over building percussion and after a rather large kick-snare roll we're away on a romper-stomper ride of big beats and bone-crunching b-lines that'll have you moshing in no time! One for the festival-goers and clubbing kids alike.

It's then left up to Reso to turn in the remix and what a remix it is! Opening with the lone 'keep your revolution' vocal over some skipping breaks and the familiar riff it isn't long before it drops into an absolutely heinous half-time roll-out complete with warning sirens and smashing FX. The breakdown follows and then a switch into a full blown D&B assault on the senses that fans of Noisia and the like will lap up with its sickening bass and edits. After yet another switch into an equally devastating dubstep section it's all over - job very well done!

"We have locked ourselves away in our new studio to make our second album! We are putting the finishing touches to it now and think our fans will NOT be disappointed! We have thrown ourselves into making this album, working with some of our favourite vocalists and bands whose names will be revealed very soon..... Its a step forward from the first album in every way!" - Leon Harris of The Qemists.

(CD/2LP) Numero Group NUM039, 2012-01-23

Esteemed Chicago-based reissue label Numero Group has been raising the bar of the soul/funk/blues/rare groove compilation standards ever since 2004 and their first Eccentric Soul collection. They even managed to get 2 albums in our 10 Reissues Of Old Stuff That's Been So Cool To (Re)Discover in 2011 selection. Their latest release, Eccentric Soul: The Nickel & Penny Labels is the brainchild of Richard Pegue, a Chicago DJ/producer/writer/arranger of soul records in the 60s and the 70s, and might suffer from the comparison with previous volumes in the label's flagship series - for example the Boddie Recording Co. boxset from last october... But don't let the tracklisting fool you, this new compilation is a new fabulous one, with most of its best tracks to be found in the second half of the CD! Special flavors are indeed to be found in The Halleluiah Chorus' soulful gem I've Got to Find A Way, South Shore Commision's James-Brown-meets-The Jackson-5-on-The-Blues-Brothers-set You Got Me Hummin', Brothers & Sisters's psychedelick shack Don't Let 'Em Tell You or Joyce Williams' flute-heavy The First Thing I Do In The Morning, just to name a few. We couldn't resist playing the two latter one in our january Bag of Goodies mix recorded last weekend which you should be able to download in the coming days...

(limited 12 inch) Square Records SQRC104, 2011-11-16

Summer 2012, Square Records were right there on spot at the start of the current re-edits craze, with amazing reworks from Onur Engin. The latest edition of their highly collectable 12 inches has arrived at the end of last year and as usual it's a 1000 copies worldwide, no re-press and no digital release affair, on which we advise to jump on before it's too late. This time Robert Luis aka Nirobi, A&R and co-founder of Tru Thoughts Recordings and a world-renowned DJ is the guest of honor, with 4 new edits of choice and their augmented dancefloor boogieness. You might be surprised, but even though there's fantastic re-edits from Soho, St Tropez or Paul McCartney in there, for us the revered treasure of the lot is the Mick Hucknall one (yep, the singer from Simply Red!), whose Farther Up The Road originally found on his 2008 Tribute to Bobby (a tribute to the blues musician Bobby "Blue" Bland), should turn all soulful dancefloors upside down, each time, guaranteed! We'll be playing this gem in the upcoming Bag of Goodies mix we've cooked for you last weekend...
